Use the VDX document server to lend and receive PDF …



Overview

ILL staff can use the VDX document store to lend and receive PDF documents. Library patrons can access the documents via the My ILL Requests service or via the URL sent to them in the VDX notification message.

Either Lenders or Borrowers can attach documents using VDX.

Lenders: Once you drop an electronic document into the VDX document store, VDX has email delivery programs that automatically transmit the documents to the borrower (requester) when the request is SHIPPED.

Borrowers: When the item comes in to your borrowing unit from ARIEL or Relais, you can attach the document to the VDX record so the enduser can view the item in My ILL Requests.

Set Up Ariel or Relais to Work with VDX

You will want to add the VDX Document Store email address to the Ariel or Relais address book and make sure that email is enabled. Once you have completed and saved changes you are ready to go.

You do not need to install the VDX Windows Admin client on your Ariel or Relais station.

You can use the version of Ariel or Relais that you have now.

Configuring Ariel to SEND Documents TO VDX

Enable Ariel’s Outgoing Mail, if this is not already configured.

1. If your Ariel station is already being used for Web Delivery, it should have outgoing mail configured, double check to ensure that you have all of the required fields completed.

2. If your Ariel station is not being used for Web Delivery, you must enter an “E-mail Return Address” to use VDX document delivery via Ariel.

This screen shot is from Ariel v. 4.1; if you have a different version of Ariel, e.g., v. 3.4, the screen layout you see may be different.
